Colors Conversions

Question

Hello to the Community. 
 I have a set of DGN files where I have to change the colors of the entities. These colors are coming from values of the standard MicroStation color table. I have to convert them to RGB mode that existing colors. I use Save As DGN but I can not indicate the RGB color correctly in the CSV files. Nothing is happening. Can you help me ? Thank you.

if you I 
 
 I seem to remember that csv remap can assign the rgbs if you put them in as R;G;B 
 if you run one of the free vbas 'floatting around here one will export the colour table as colour numbers but also the rgbs... if you can find them send me a dgn with the colour table no need fr elements just empty file and I'll create the csv listing of just colour number and the rgbs and send it back you can then try pasting into the remapping table use my PM to send me your file or post on line 
 If I get what you asking is for the manager to look like this 
 before 
 
 and after by hand without changing the colour table just list the rgbs in level manager 
 
 if you dont change the colour table you just double click on the colour number and and choose the middle option and ok to use the original rgbs as listed see next pix 
 If you want to use different values then you can add them by hand from a table of values, I do this with acad colours that need to live in a dgn file with mstn colours but just a few custom acad colours so things look the same in both acad and dgn prints.. 
 Its still better in a dgn lib file to do this so you can reuse it when ever you want and force bylevel and level names and rgbs how you want ....and import the lib...

Lesbre, 
 
Unfortunately, at this time there is no way to put an RGB value into the remapping CSV file, only color index values or "%ByLevel". It is a reasonable enhancement request, but this is the first time I can recall anyone asking for it.
